Chapter 737: Chapter 683: An Earth Immortal_1

Qingyin House.

Fairy Luan Bing looked at the jade slip in her hand, a trace of worry surfacing on her fair face.

The Star Iron Sword Sect was relentlessly aggressive, and its branch, the Comfort Sword Branch, was incessantly encroaching on Qingyin House’s profits.

Recently, the situation had become quite unsustainable.

Even with Fairy Luan Bing struggling to hold on, it was futile.

"This year, on the territory under our control, a disciple with a Heaven Grade Spiritual Root finally emerged, but the Comfort Sword Branch snatched him away and even injured the Spirit-seeking Emissary of our house..."

Fairy Luan Bing genuinely regretted, she had cared too much for the inheritances left by her ancestors and lacked the decisiveness of the Wang Family Ancestor to break up everything. If it didn’t work out, relocating was also an option...

But now, she was too deeply ensnared to reverse the situation.

Just as Fairy Luan Bing was pondering, a disciple hurried in with a scroll in hand, "Esteemed Master, take a look..."

"Hmm?"

Fairy Luan Bing initially thought it was again something to do with the Comfort Sword Branch.

However, upon opening the scroll, her expression froze in disbelief, "The Prime Taoist Tiejian is actually proposing a truce... What? Friend Wang... he... he has actually achieved Returning to Emptiness?!"

Upon thinking of that robust Elder from the past, a look of stunned emotion flickered across Fairy Luan Bing’s face...

...

Mysterious Dark Abyss.

Wang Family Old House.

Wang Lingying turned into a streak of light, arriving above the house.

As the ancestral home of the Wang Family, there was also a fifth-tier Spiritual Vein here, which had long since been occupied by other powers.

At this moment, a pitch-black streak of light suddenly shot out from that Dongfu.

The Escape Light flickered, revealing a Transcendent God Cultivator with an iron mask, "So it is Friend Wang... I have yet to congratulate the Wang Family Ancestor on successfully returning to emptiness. This Dongfu has been cleaned up for you, a mat swept in wait for the arrival of the honorable Wang Family’s guests."

"Many thanks!"

Wang Lingying had a belly full of words, but finding none to say at this moment, he straightforwardly descended into the midst of the Wang Family Old House.

As the descendant of a Cultivator who Returned to Emptiness, especially since that ancestor had joined the Moon Invitation Immortal City, one of the top powers under the Star Sect of the Star Domain, his backing was solid.

Conducting affairs in the Mysterious Dark Abyss, Wang Lingying faced little obstruction, there even seemed to be a sense that fortune assisted him...

He entered the Dongfu, sat down cross-legged, and quietly waited.

Before the Wang family’s branches had separated, they had already agreed upon a signal for regathering.

And before coming here, Wang Lingying had spread the word about rebuilding the Wang Family through various channels.

Now, it was time to see how many would come.

In truth, he was not worried at all.

After all, his family was now a Returning-to-Emptiness family!

Many branches, even those from generations back, would possibly want to come and acknowledge their lineage to gain the protection of that Great Power who had Returned to Emptiness!

And the news of the Wang Family Ancestor’s recent ascension to Returning to Emptiness swept across the Mysterious Dark Abyss and the surrounding Cultivation realms like a hurricane.

All Cultivators hearing it for the first time were incredulous, then filled with envy.

Although it was somewhat unbelievable that the Wang Family Ancestor could Return to Emptiness,

considering he had managed to do so quietly and suddenly as a Transcendent God, it was unexpectedly within the bounds of reason.

His success gave hope to many Nascent Soul and Transcendent God Cultivators!

Under such earthshaking news, the various branches of the Wang family returned at a startling speed and gathered under Wang Lingying’s command.

The main house, the second house, the third house...

The original Wang family members had not fared well after separating.

Now encountering a pillar of support, they naturally grasped it firmly.

Wang Lingying had them recognize their lineage one by one, and then selected a group of Cultivators with good age, talent, and appearance. Through the connections of the Profound Mystery Trade Association, they were sent together to Moon Invitation Immortal City, to await the orders of their ancestor.

Before he realized it, the Wang family had regained its former grandeur and even developed further.

On this day.

Another branch of the Wang family came to recognize their lineage.

"Forefathers, members of the Wang family of the ’Shan’ generation, the seventh house, have come to pay their respects."

A row of several dozen brilliant lights landed in front of Wang Lingying, bowing respectfully.

Wang Lingying looked at the Bloodline Disk and cast a Magic Spell.

On the jade disk, beads of blood-red light emerged, continuously radiating brilliance.

"Indeed, they are of our family’s bloodline..."

He smiled and nodded, then turned to look at a few others, among them an elderly Nascent Soul: "And who might these be...?"

The Bloodline Disk did not react to these people, clearly indicating they were not of the Wang bloodline.

However, within a family, there are always many spouses and relatives by marriage, and Wang Lingying did not consider it a concern.

"Forefather, please hear me,"

an elderly member of the Wang family hurriedly said, "Our branch later divided from the seventh house and settled on the Setting Sun Plain... We intermarried with the Nascent Soul Great Family ’Li Family’ in that place. This is the Li Family Elder—Li Ruoling!"

Li Ruoling, who had already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, stepped forward with a beaming smile to pay respects, "Li Ruoling greets the elder..."

Although he had witnessed the fall of the Kong Sang Market and the Black Tide disaster, planning to retreat and cultivate for hundreds of years,

in reality, upon returning to the Setting Sun Plain, the Li Family truly rose to power under Li Ruoling’s leadership.

After over a hundred years of development, they were on the verge of establishing a new mortal kingdom.

Just then, they encountered the migrating Wang family members, intermarried en masse, and became one family.

’In this day and age, if one wishes to advance in cultivation, one must struggle!’

’Now that the Dragon Controlling Sect has fallen and the Black Tide has subsided, nobody brings up the affairs of Mechanism City and the Kong Sang Market anymore. My Li Family can finally develop without worries.’

Li Ruoling’s heart heated up with anticipation.

"Since you are in-laws, then you are half of our own. There’s no need for such formalities."
